this is r.t. welcome it's kevin zero in here in moscow tonight with our top story at eight pm and president medvedev says those behind saturday's nationalist riots in moscow will be brought to justice we can rally commemorating a football fan that was killed turned into clashes with police and attacks on i think one already riot officers are again on the capital streets tonight because it's suspected that more violence could flare out he's catarina their. apparently according to sources that we've managed to speak to here at the very heart of the russian capital police received reports and monitored various communications from the internet about a group of a football fans who would plan to meet a number of people from the north caucuses here in the very heart of the russian capital to basically fly it out their differences of course police decided that it is better to be safe than sorry and deployed a very large number of riot police all around my new square where we are right now

they've been standing here for a number of hours just monitoring the situation and waiting to see if anything would happen in a force being ready to prevent any aggression like the clashes that we saw happen last week on saturday between football fans and riot police we managed to talk to a representative of the press spokeswoman of the moscow special forces team who said that who gave us some details about why the police are here exactly and what they were expecting to happen. but if you can if you just heard more we had information that fans of the dynamic football club could come here to have some switch meeting with people from the russia's north caucasus to guaranteed people security from clashes must give police a provided additional security measures here at the meniere's mask where we didn't close the underground shopping center which was decided by the send to security starts earlier today the russian president meeting with the aid of condemned to the

violence that took place on saturday here at the news square saying that any perpetrators that instigate such violence especially a hatred based on an aggression based on a religious or ethnic or national differences should be punished by the law the police to do everything in their power to prevent any such actions and all and every one of those responsible for instigating violent clashes here on set. they will be brought to justice. the recent events in moscow of the disorder attacks on people should be classified as crimes and the people behind them punished especially dangerous were the actions aimed at fueling hatred and hostility based on racial national or religious differences such actions are a threat to the state stability to counteract such actions police can and must use all means allowed by the law and i stress any legal necessary and sufficient means

there shouldn't be any chaos on the streets or in public places. the city police of course taking that message to heart as we see a large number of police presence here in the very heart of the russian capital where clashes occurred on saturday and rumors were that more clashes were to take place today so police decided that it is better to be safe than sorry deployed a large amount of people so far it does thankfully seem to be quiet. that's the good news at least as get some more thoughts on it alexander wachowski is the director of the moscow based social thing play thanks for being on the line with us from central moscow tonight police are shut down as we just heard malaysian a square just outside the kremlin tonight fair and more violence as we've also heard so far frankly no sign of that but nonetheless is there a danger that moscow could be become a focus point for hooliganism now. if.

it. were. i don't think you heard me say mr boesky is kevin oh and here i was just going to say is that are a danger do you think that moscow could become a focal point for hooliganism. most course in any way the main place for football hooliganism because there are more star football clubs here in moscow football fans and most course also. the main region for racist violence in the country. these two million years of football fans and. groups. somewhere connected there are people from both. so it's a very difficult place for my least to counteract this things and it was so visible this saturday. moscow hasn't seen a football fan riot on this scale in years before the weekend i want to explore

with you how is it even possible to so many people to gather outside the kremlin and vent their anger like that in the first place you mentioned there that it's it's difficult for the police to control people in that area why expand on that form. my opinion i am i cannot prove it but my opinion is that the police had an informal agreement with the football fans leadership so called for their organization that they will stay on their current starts keep this football friend was murdered. and fried to really france not to go with the money and his career and i think police believe they will not go. to groups they call two together on the square and. they were more successful in the. event for our travels and. i think widebodies wasn't ready

for for what's happening what's what's happened there ok well the actual logistics of it aside let's try and pick apart what might be behind it the russian president and other officials are saying that nationalists have hijacked the football fan community why do you think they're drawn to using the guise of football supporters to spread violence. by. to be that. these two. masses of people solve and solve for both france and thousands of fall to riot activists in in moscow and in the region and in russia in general there are different. but there are some other maybe thousands also people for both france and authorized to use leadership or fall to write in leadership of football fans are different groups and they do not like each other i

would say but in any current situation it's all this kind of complication who will. control the masses of greece young i guess if people weren't in this situation the leadership of football fans they lost control that's that's a very important poor end because from this moment we cannot guarantee that for both france and moscow may be controlled in and that is and that is you know all fully worrying prospect what you say there isn't it because of course is a football world cup coming to russia or an eight years' time the whole world is going to be looking at this country the whole world is going to want to see what happens particularly crucially here what can be done to stamp out these problems is it realistic to think these problems can be stamped out in time. there are two things here philistine

a short term only police measures may. make some effect but in the long term of course if we talk about football fans their policy saw for football fans or say. football clubs is very important here because until now football clubs practically didn't care about racist small grandstand stadiums and size things if they may be changed policy is there a season in the football will not disappear but at least there will be less of a racism in football it is possible to fight with it. many countries had the same problems but in our situation it's only it seems as it is it is new while it is not for book clubs leadership they knew for years about the problem but they didn't hear it before all right well thanks for your thoughts on the program

leagues and a host the director of the moscow based think tank. the white house says the u.s. senate will pass the key nuclear arms treaty with russia before the new year it needs to be ratified in both russia and the u.s. but there's been vocal opposition from some u.s. republican senators artie's gun each that you can see in washington d.c. . the records believe they can get the trivia ratified by december seventeenth when this congress finishes its work we have one week left in the lot of people are nervous but we heard several republican senators say the votes are there and the treaty will most likely be ratified by the end of this week here's what the starts key negotiators said i do think that we have as i mentioned done our homework with regard to the new start treaty and it is. in a good situation to ratify it in the slam duck session well if the ratification is put off which is unlikely the new congress will deal with the treaty and it's not going to be pretty two reasons are brought out for that one the new senate is going

to be more republican and their main mission as they openly described it will be to undermine obama in every possible way which is certainly not going to help the treaty and second it was this congress that had done all the homework on the new start those have been eight months of hearings and in-depth discussion if the treaty ends up on the table of the new senate a new cycle will begin and it could be put off indefinitely maybe for months or years so the administration democrats in the senate and some republicans who are strongly advocating for the treaty say now is the time in terms of substance if you look at key questions concerns whatever senators had regarding the new start those were all addressed it has the unanimous support of the military and many top officials former and present have testified in favor of the treaty seems the only thing that could be standing in the way of the new start now are partisan games political bargaining which has very little to do with the treaty itself and its content the new start is arguably obama's major foreign policy achievement so he's

trying real hard to push it through we heard him call for republican senators to step away from this overwhelming desire to undermine his presidency and really look at the treaty itself and how important it is for the u.s. national security the start is not just about reducing that to country's nuclear arsenals firefly. heard it's seen as a symbol of trust between the two nuclear superpowers and obama made it clear that further cooperation plans with russia could really go south without these key trading places stressed how important russia's assistance is in afghanistan how crucial russia's cooperation was on iran and other aspects as you asked russia we said and everybody here realizes that the new start is sort of the milestone of this where you set. you can ferrante a massive cash injections being promised in a bid to fire up russia's outdated military prime minister vladimir putin says that moscow will spend over six hundred billion dollars integrating the armed forces the massive investment will be spread over the next decade and it's aimed at bringing

the russian military up to modern standards good and says the government will purchase twelve hundred units of military hardware and new factories will be opened to me construction needs russia's current forces are mostly based on aging soviet technology most of which is set to be scrapped by twenty twenty. coming up we'll tell you how russian authorities are taking a hard line on hard core substance abuse with a string of being online deliberately designed to shock and upset potential users away from starting in the fall happened. first. the crisis on the korean peninsula pyongyang has disputed nuclear program at the heart of talks between the russian and north korean foreign ministers they met behind closed doors here in moscow during what is a tense time in the region right now with more war games from the south and after the north fatal shelling of its neighbors islands to go to prison office been trying to find out more about the high level meeting. we do know that pyongyang's

nuclear program is the most important issue being discussed north korea walked out of the six party talks last year which also include the united states south korea china japan and russia pyongyang also expelled international nuclear monitors from the country and continued with the nuclear tests calling causing off a huge wave of condemnation across the world this really worries russia since it borders in north korea and. is a neighboring region for russia and the the recent rise of tensions in on the peninsula is are making the situation even worse and so last month north korea launched an attack on the one of south korea's islands showing it four people were killed at least eighteen others were injured pyongyang said that in fact south korea attacked a northern territory's before that and this was a reply by using force so this just shows how unstable the region still is the fact

that south korea is increasing cooperation with the united states constantly holding various military drills in the region in fact even after north korea's attack on that island south korea and the united states held a new set of military exercises south korea's has also recently held the new mall and which is calling for even closer ties with washington and this is definitely an intimidating factor for north korea and such close ties with the united states at this point where this moment may make the tensions even higher so the two foreign ministers have definitely have a lot to talk about here in moscow correspondent going off kosovo's prime minister's declaring victory in the first parliamentary election since the self-proclaimed nation split from serbia the poll has been on the mind after european observers said they had allegations of. brought in two areas of oil to the premier the official results are yet to be announced the new government faces

a number of challenges including a weak economy extremely high unemployment and endemic corruption kosovo remains deeply divided along ethnic lines with most of its ethnic population boycotting the polls be a refuses to recognize cost of independence meantime market gas itches from the british seven alliance for peace he joins us live on the line now from london to give people insight even to you there are allegations out there of the fraud linked to the prime minister what are the implications of this if they indeed at the end they prove to be true well it's obviously very embarrassing for those great powers who created this fake state of course of all that is behaving in a very undemocratic way in as much as rather than vote counting we've got the vote cooking and we've got in the words of one western diplomat industrial scale fraud going on in the prime minister she's a central area of course of up for so called prime minister i should say that

political power is important also because it's a cover for criminal activity it provides a very great smokescreen you where you can do things underneath that smokescreen and indeed the western powers are very aware of that the german intelligence and germ military produced a report which said specifically accused. as it put it being intimately involved in interlinking linkages between politics business and organized crime and also of leading a criminal network operating throughout kosovo and linking to other international matthew groups so they know who they're dealing with that's for sure you know the un and the you are urging serbia and kosovo to engage in negotiations to try to sort the very longstanding differences what's needed do you think to smooth things out for a slightly less well it's a rocky path. well what is needed is for the united states and indeed the ear opinions abandon their one sided policy which is cruel cause so much instability in the balkans over the last twenty years which is give everything to everybody and nothing to the serbians that's what's been going on so far that's why where we are

now where we are now and all it means is the long term there will be no stable future for what was yugoslavia what they now call the western balkans until this one sidedness and is buyers in western diplomacy as is addressed and what about the short to medium term kosovo is of course desperately poor it's got a high unemployment in forty and fifty percent especially where young people their intimate institutionalized corruption what's needed to get the region out of this quagmire. well the first thing is i think an acknowledgement that in course this is a bit of a fake democracy because stands accused but really he's rivals are no better according to the two thousand and seven report of the fact finding mission of the united nations security council it said that the k.l.a. though the terrorists who took power in june ninety nine had transformed into the political power and as he put it someone transformed into criminal structures carry now organized crime activities or drugs weapons trafficking and prostitution and it

key crucially is says that many of their leaders are now political leaders at all levels including prime minister and other ministerial offices so these are the rivals the midst of actually it's no better over there but what course of the needs is to be linked as it should be to the rest of serbia its economic natural hinterland its source of strength it should not be cut off by an albanian chauvinism that wants to join its a greater albania or greater albania. and macedonia this is the problem for the region. albanian chauvinism supported by western capitals that should know better. lines for peace thanks for being on the program today. shock tactics of eliminating the drug around call abuse of divided opinion across russia videos of deformed fetuses and children eating feces are just a small part of a controversial new online campaign authorities have defended the those saying that only harsh reality will discourage youngsters and kick some some sense into wording

so you may find some of the images coming up from washington's report disturbing. me to happy mother fall to my she says masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was pregnant with her this internet ad is part of a stomach churning anti drunken painted flashing sashenka i was already on heroin then surprisingly it's the least offensive of the series designed to shock some of them may leave a bad taste in your mouth quite literally like this one for instance. that's why we stop it here. it says that keeping quiet about drug abuse among school kids is like keeping dirt in your mouth the disturb an advert has provoked a huge discussion on the web one just how far we can go in trying to keep youngsters away from drugs that was the word yes it causes a slight nausea impulse but that's what we need it will make those children who now

in russia first try drugs has jumped to thirteen years with the ethics of original expectancy just twenty one the last the latter but all of this is aimed at them so it has to be primitive in order to work do you think they don't know that drugs are bad when they just need to have it literally imprinted in their minds the shocking can pain is actually a government initiative a response to the country's need priority in fighting the drug problem. we've always been concentrated on finding drugs and withdrawing them this july we've adopted a new state drug strategy now we need. the focus on decreasing demand rather than trying to cope with the consequences. with a government three century focus on preventive measures we can expect more and more projects like this one aimed at literally disgusting the idea of drugs out of youngsters minds and yes it may be unpleasant looking but so are the statistics of drug abuse in the country and if there is
